Analysis Paragraph:
Providence is a much more diverse community than Barrington with only 12% of its student population being Caucasian. Because 59% of Providence's students are Hispanic and 22% of Providence's students are African-American I decided to use these two groups to examine Providence's accountability seeing as they carry the most weight in scores. In Elementary education neither Hispanic nor African-American students met the state targets but the ELA target was counted as met due to sufficient progress shown toward the target. In Middle School Education, Hispanic students met the state target for Math however the ELA and Math targets were counted as met for both Hispanics and African-Americans due to the same reason as before. In high school education both Hispanic and African-American students met the state target for ELA and were seen as having met the state target for Math as well due to, once again, showing sufficient progress towards the target. Math scores for these two groups were noticably closer to the state targets in Middle school than either Elementary or High school and ELA scores appeared to get closer to the target from Elementary to Middle School and then surpass the target in High School.[1]
Nice work, Kyle. Now decide what topic sentence sums up your findings. Also, does Providence not have a lot of English Language Learners and/or Economically disadvantaged students? If not, you should say so, if they do, you might consider incorporating their performance into your report because we're trying to draw distinctions between Barrington and Providence. - fogleman Oct 15, 2010
